The Lights O. London

The revival of George R. Sims we'll
known melodrama, Lights O. London
at Harper's theatre this evening, should
be witnessed by very large audience.

capture the sympathies of an apprecia-

realistic presentation, and the good and

III the human heart are so strangely por-
trayed as in this exciting play, enthusiasm
is not to be wondered at. The Des
Moines Leader says of the rendition
there:
The production last evening was very
elaborate in scenic effects, and in this re-
spect will bear favorable comparison
with any previous presentation. The
bridge scene was particularly well set
and the famous rescue from drowning
created q storm Of applause. The Satur
day night market scene. with the rougl
and tumble scrimmage between policemen
and excitable frequenters of the place
was also capitally presented. Indeed, a.
the scenic effects were deserving o

A WIRY WAY.

The W.. U. Telegraph Company Has a
Grievance Against the Brush Elec-
trio Light Company---Supt. Tubbs |
Comes---A Conference.-The Dan
ger.
SUIT. F. H. Tubbs, of the Western
Union Telegraph company. made hssty
visit to Rock Island yesterday. returning
to Chicago on the night train. His mis-
sion was to induce. if possible, the Brush
Electric Light company to remove their
wires which have just been strung along
Second avenue from Seventeenth to
Nineteenth streets. to some other street
where they will not come in contact with
the telegraph wires. Mr.. Tubbs had good
reasons for making this request as
evinced by the fact that he offered to res
move all wires and poles to another
street, free of expense to the Brush COM
pany. His propositions were all rejected
by President Huesing. however, and it
was decided to hold conference at the
| city clerks Office this morning. This
was done. the mayor, street and alley
committee. and President Huesing and
Directors Blaisdell and Buford and Elec-
trclan A. G. Liggett, for the Brush COM
pany. and Local Manager Looney. of the
Telegraph company being present At
ter disc ussing the situation at length. it
was decided to refer the entire matter to
the city councl at its regular monthly
meeting next Monday night

The electric light wires are below tn

Buffalo Prairie POstOfii ce

Several weeks ago the ARGUS referred
to the inconvenience the people of Buffalo
Prairie were subjected to in not having
proper mail facilities. and published a
letter from Postmaster Drury, stating his
grievances. We have received letters
from both the first and second assistant
postmaster generals on the subject, prom
Using to rectify the trouble if it could be
done without inconvenience to other Off
ces. The matter was finally referred to
Congressman Gest, who now writes that
he can get triweekly run from Marston
to Buffalo Prairie instead of the Reynolds
route. This will undoubtedly be salts
factory to the Buffalo Prairie people. and
the order will 60 in force as soon as Post
master Drury notifies the department
that tie change is acceptable. In hi
letter, which is dated Dec. 20, Mr.. Ges
wishes "all his Rock Island friends {
merry Christmas and happy New Year.
He also speaks of the death of Represen
tative Moffatt. of Michigan, who was
personal friend of his.
